 Day 29: Improving Listening Skills and Reacting Naturally


Today, I focused on improving my listening skills and practicing how to react naturally to what I hear. My goal was to understand different accents and speaking speeds and respond quickly in real-life conversations.


What did I do today?


Listening Practice:


I listened to short podcasts, conversations, and videos with native speakers, focusing on different accents and speech speeds.


I made sure to listen to both slow and fast speech to get used to various paces.



Reacting to What I Hear:


After listening to each conversation, I tried to summarize it in my own words.


I practiced responding as if I were having a real conversation, using appropriate reactions like “Really?” or “That’s interesting!”



Shadowing Practice:


I repeated short segments of conversations after the speaker, trying to match their speed and intonation. This helped me become more comfortable with the rhythm of natural speech.




How did I feel today?

It was a bit challenging to keep up with faster speech, but after practicing, I felt more comfortable. The shadowing exercise helped me improve my reaction time and made me feel more confident in responding during real conversations.


Achievements of the Day


Improved my ability to understand different accents and speech speeds.


Practiced reacting naturally in conversations based on what I hear.



Plan for Tomorrow


Continue listening to more challenging content like news or interviews and react to it.


Focus on improving my ability to summarize and discuss what I hear.

Day 11

Day 11: Listening to Native Conversations and Shadowing Today, I focused on listening to more natural, native conversations to improve my listening skills and comprehension. I also practiced shadowing, which is repeating what I hear in real-time to get more comfortable with the flow of the language. What did I do today? Listening to Native Conversations: I listened to a series of short conversations between native speakers, paying close attention to how they speak in natural settings. I tried to catch common expressions and phrases used in daily life that might help me sound more natural. Shadowing Practice: I picked a short video with a native speaker and repeated what they said immediately after they said it. This was challenging, but it helped me match their rhythm and tone. I tried to match the speaker's intonation and pronunciation as closely as possible, focusing on improving my fluency. How did I feel today?

 Day 24: Developing Confidence in Asking Questions Today, I focused on improving my ability to ask questions in English, whether for information, clarification, or starting conversations. Asking the right questions is essential for real-life communication, so my goal was to practice forming questions naturally and fluently. What did I do today? Practicing Question Forms: I reviewed how to form different types of questions, including: Yes/No questions (e.g., “Do you like coffee?”). WH-questions (e.g., “Where do you usually go on weekends?”). Indirect questions (e.g., “Could you tell me where the station is?”). I practiced asking each type of question aloud, focusing on correct grammar and pronunciation.

Day 5

Day 5: Practicing Listening and Understanding Conversations Today, I decided to focus more on listening, as I believe it's a key part of language learning. By listening to conversations, we get the chance to improve our skills significantly. My goal was to understand conversations better and learn common words and phrases used in daily life. What did I do today? Listening to Simple Conversations: I watched short videos in English with subtitles. First, I focused on listening, and then checked the subtitles to make sure I understood everything. I chose videos that had simple conversations between people in everyday situations like "at the cafe" or "shopping." Reviewing New Vocabulary: I learned new words while watching the videos and wrote them down to review later. How did I feel today? At first, I wasn't sure if I would be able to understand, but after a while, I started noticing that certain words were repeated across videos. This made me feel like I’m on ...
